Oh, this is fun.

0:00:300:00:32

I must say, Lady Felicia, I never thought that the circus

0:00:320:00:35

would be quite your thing.

0:00:350:00:36

Oh, it has its attractions.

0:00:360:00:38

Oh! Nicholas! Laura.

0:00:410:00:45

I believe we have our second meeting tomorrow.

0:00:480:00:50

11 o'clock. Don't be late. Father Brown has a baptism at 12.

0:00:500:00:55

Any jitters yet?

0:00:550:00:57

Only at the thought of tripping over on the way down the aisle.

0:00:570:01:00

She had a dream.

0:01:000:01:02

A premonition.

0:01:020:01:03

Laura!

0:01:030:01:05

-Laura!

-Mr Smythe!

0:01:060:01:09

How do you two...?

0:01:090:01:10

Mr Smythe used to come to the cafe when the circus was here last year.

0:01:100:01:13

You and your friend... Oh, what was his name?

0:01:130:01:16

Mr Welkin.

0:01:160:01:18

These aren't for me, are they?

0:01:210:01:23

-Laura, I've done it. I've made my fortune.

-You've what?

0:01:230:01:28

And now I've come back to...

0:01:280:01:29

..in the hope that you'll fulfil our agreement.

0:01:300:01:34

-What agreement?

-For your hand...

0:01:340:01:36

..in marriage.

0:01:370:01:38

Look, I circled it.

0:02:090:02:11

"Hope's Promise."

0:02:110:02:12

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Laura Hope.

0:02:120:02:16

Hope's Promise.

0:02:160:02:17

It was a sign. Don't you think, Father?

0:02:170:02:19

I put everything I had on her and, bam, she won!

0:02:190:02:23

Another sign! £100 in winnings.

0:02:230:02:26

Hardly what I'd call a fortune.

0:02:260:02:27

I heard that, hairdo.

0:02:270:02:28

Laura, what's going on?

0:02:280:02:29

-Who's this?

-I am her fian...

-What you doing out here?

0:02:290:02:33

-None of your business.

-It's completely unprofessional.

0:02:330:02:36

The audience isn't supposed to see us before a show.

0:02:360:02:39

Backstage, now. Now!

0:02:390:02:41

Meet me here after, please.

0:02:410:02:43

Something you want to tell me?

0:02:460:02:48

-I...

-Maybe...you should sit down.

0:02:500:02:52

And tell us why Mr Smythe thinks you've agreed to marry him.

0:02:540:02:58

Because I... I did.

0:03:000:03:03

-You what?

-And not just him.

0:03:030:03:06

Mr Welkin, too.

0:03:060:03:07

What on earth possessed you?

0:03:070:03:10

Smythe and Welkin were regulars.

0:03:100:03:12

They were funny, always making me laugh.

0:03:130:03:15

And I'll admit I used to flirt a bit.

0:03:160:03:19

-Dead man's hand.

-Are you sure you're not cheating?

0:03:210:03:24

An honourable man like me?

0:03:240:03:25

Anything else for my two favourite customers?

0:03:270:03:29

Actually, I've got something for you...

0:03:290:03:32

-..a leaving present.

-You sweetheart!

0:03:330:03:36

Do you have a suitor, my dear?

0:03:360:03:38

Are you offering, Mr Welkin?

0:03:380:03:39

-If you'll do me the honour...

-Me too. I'd make you a fine husband.

0:03:390:03:43

-You've already got a girlfriend.

-Don't listen to him.

0:03:430:03:45

You're the only one for me.

0:03:450:03:47

It's not fair to ask me to choose between you. I love you both.

0:03:470:03:51

So, how are you to decide? You can't marry us both.

0:03:510:03:53

Hmm, that's a tough one.

0:03:550:03:56

I tell you what,

0:03:580:03:59

whichever one of you first makes his fortune,

0:03:590:04:02

that's the one I'll marry.

0:04:020:04:03

Agreed?

0:04:040:04:06

Agreed.

0:04:060:04:08

Agreed.

0:04:080:04:10

Well, that settles that, then!

0:04:100:04:11

That is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard.

0:04:180:04:20

-Couldn't have been more than a month after that, I met you.

-You didn't think to tell me?

0:04:200:04:24

I didn't think they'd take it seriously.

0:04:240:04:26

Men can be delusional...especially when they're in love.

0:04:260:04:30

I think our best course of action is to talk to Misters Smythe and Welkin

0:04:300:04:34

after the show

0:04:340:04:35

and clear up the matter. Agreed?

0:04:350:04:38

-Agreed.

-Yes.

0:04:380:04:40

You and a girl like that?

0:04:480:04:50

-Meaning what?

-Meaning she's...and you're...

0:04:520:04:55

What, she's tall and I'm short, is that what you're trying to say?

0:04:550:04:58

Meaning she's pretty and you're ugly.

0:04:580:05:01

Feel better now?

0:05:010:05:02

Well, she's agreed.

0:05:020:05:04

Oh, is that so?

0:05:040:05:06

-What about Enid?

-Things have gotten stale between us.

0:05:060:05:08

What, so you're just going to throw her aside?

0:05:080:05:11

She's not the one.

0:05:110:05:12

If she was, I'd know by now.

0:05:120:05:15

I'll let her down gently.

0:05:150:05:18

See this girl? Happy to join the circus, is she?

0:05:180:05:21

Wouldn't ask her to do that. After today's performance, I'm leaving.

0:05:220:05:26

-Excuse me?!

-I'm sorry, Marvin!

-What about the double act?

0:05:260:05:29

-The heart wants what the heart...

-Don't give me that!

0:05:290:05:33

You've wanted out for years.

0:05:330:05:35

Maybe I have.

0:05:350:05:37

Maybe I've had enough of...

0:05:370:05:38

-prat-falls and custard pies in the face!

-This is a noble profession.

0:05:380:05:43

Noble? I'm stuffing balloons down my trousers!

0:05:430:05:47

-Making people laugh is the highest call...

-Calling there is.

0:05:470:05:50

Yes, I know. Well, perhaps I've found a higher calling -

0:05:500:05:54

the beating of my heart.

0:05:540:05:55

You make me sick!

0:05:550:05:57

Marvin...

0:06:020:06:03

What was that about?

0:06:050:06:06

-Disagreement over a custard pie.

-What do you want for dinner tonight?

0:06:070:06:11

Erm... Anything. Up to you.

0:06:110:06:13

You all right?

0:06:150:06:17

Yeah. See you later.

0:06:170:06:19

Look, I've won.

0:06:270:06:30

I've made my fortune.

0:06:300:06:31

There's nothing you can do about it.

0:06:310:06:34

Nothing?

0:06:340:06:35

I thought you were an honourable man.

0:06:370:06:40

I'm going to slit your throat.

0:06:400:06:42

Oh!

0:06:580:07:00

CHEERING

0:07:160:07:17

HE CRIES

0:07:390:07:41

CHEERING

0:07:440:07:46

And now, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls...

0:07:490:07:55

prepare yourselves for the master of the dark arts,

0:07:550:07:59

the purveyor of forbidden magic,

0:07:590:08:01

knower of secrets,

0:08:010:08:04

the Grand Wizard Welkin!

0:08:040:08:08

APPLAUSE

0:08:080:08:11

There is nothing more precious to the human psyche

0:08:180:08:22

than the belief in free will.

0:08:220:08:25

And yet, this belief can be shattered,

0:08:280:08:32

crushed, exposed as nothing more than an illusion.

0:08:320:08:36

To demonstrate this, I shall need a volunteer.

0:08:370:08:41

You...

0:08:460:08:48

Come to me.

0:08:480:08:50

Some encouragement, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls!

0:08:520:08:56

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:560:08:59

What is your name?

0:09:100:09:12

Laura.

0:09:120:09:14

Are you afraid of pain, Laura?

0:09:140:09:16

Of course you are. You're human.

0:09:180:09:19

But today...

0:09:210:09:24

you will feel no pain,

0:09:240:09:26

none at all.

0:09:260:09:27

Do you understand?

0:09:280:09:30

Yes.

0:09:310:09:32

WIND CHIMES TINKLE

0:09:420:09:46

Look deep into the light.

0:09:460:09:48

Lose yourself in its shimmering...beauty.

0:09:510:09:56

Relax.

0:10:010:10:02

AUDIENCE GASPS

0:10:110:10:13

Raise your arm.

0:10:200:10:22

Place it into the fire.

0:10:250:10:27

GASPS FROM CROWD

0:10:270:10:29

Into the flame!

0:10:310:10:33

How do you feel?

0:10:370:10:39

I feel...fine.

0:10:400:10:43

You will be mine.

0:10:520:10:53

And you weren't scared?

0:11:120:11:13

No.

0:11:130:11:15

Explain that, Father.

0:11:150:11:16

Never underestimate the power of suggestion.

0:11:160:11:19

You're shaking.

0:11:200:11:22

What did he whisper in your ear?

0:11:220:11:24

He said...

0:11:240:11:25

"You will be mine."

0:11:270:11:28

This has gone far enough! When I get my hands...

0:11:280:11:31

Try to stay calm.

0:11:310:11:32

As soon as Mr Smythe gets here, we'll get him to fetch Welkin.

0:11:340:11:38

It's time we put a stop to this nonsense.

0:11:380:11:40

-Going somewhere?

-Er...

0:11:590:12:03

Ow!

0:12:030:12:04

Marvin told me everything.

0:12:040:12:07

METALLIC SOUND OF KNIFE

0:12:150:12:16

Hello?

0:12:160:12:18

Someone there?

0:12:180:12:19

Help!

0:12:260:12:28

Help!

0:12:280:12:29

Mr Smythe?!

0:12:350:12:37

He tried to kill me.

0:12:450:12:47

-Tall, like some sort of spectre.

-Evil eyes.

0:12:590:13:02

Spectre with evil eyes?

0:13:040:13:06

That about sums him up.

0:13:060:13:08

Mr Welkin do that too?

0:13:080:13:09

Er, no.

0:13:090:13:12

That was someone else.

0:13:120:13:13

Who?

0:13:130:13:15

My ex-girlfriend.

0:13:150:13:16

Looks like he's disappeared, sir.

0:13:160:13:18

Witnesses reported seeing him near the knife thrower's caravan

0:13:180:13:21

shortly before the attack.

0:13:210:13:23

Dust it for fingerprints.

0:13:230:13:24

If he comes near you again, report it immediately.

0:13:240:13:27

That's it?

0:13:270:13:29

What about some protection?

0:13:290:13:30

We don't have the resources for that...

0:13:320:13:34

Inspector, I do think Mr Welkin is dangerous.

0:13:340:13:38

If he is prowling around Kembleford...

0:13:380:13:41

I'll conduct a brief search.

0:13:410:13:43

If I were you, I'd avoid being alone. Good day.

0:13:440:13:48

Do you have a safe place to stay?

0:13:480:13:52

I've got a B&B booked for tonight -

0:13:520:13:54

a room for two.

0:13:540:13:56

Look here, you little...

0:13:560:13:57

Who are you calling "little"?!

0:13:570:13:59

-Mr Smythe...

-Reggie, please.

0:13:590:14:02

Let me do this properly.

0:14:030:14:05

Oh, for Heaven's sake!

0:14:050:14:06

Laura, from the moment I first saw you,

0:14:060:14:10

I knew you were the one...

0:14:100:14:11

No, stop it!

0:14:110:14:13

Mr Smythe...

0:14:150:14:16

Reggie.

0:14:200:14:22

When I offered my hand in marriage...

0:14:220:14:25

I meant it as nothing more than a joke.

0:14:250:14:27

THUNDER RUMBLES

0:14:380:14:41

You don't have to stay with me, Father. I'll be fine.

0:14:450:14:49

Nonsense. Broken hearts need company.

0:14:490:14:52

I really don't think it's safe for us

0:14:520:14:55

to be in the same room as a potential murder victim.

0:14:550:14:58

Agreed. You should go.

0:14:580:15:00

I'm not leaving you alone with a madman on the loose.

0:15:010:15:05

I suppose we could have a nice cup of tea

0:15:050:15:07

-while we wait for the maniac to arrive?

-Grand.

0:15:070:15:10

I've made a mess of everything.

0:15:100:15:12

A great, big, stupid mess.

0:15:120:15:15

Everyone makes mistakes.

0:15:150:15:17

I don't need your platitudes, Father.

0:15:170:15:19

Please leave me alone, both of you.

0:15:190:15:22

I don't think that will be a good idea.

0:15:220:15:24

Until Mr Welkin is found, it would be safer if...

0:15:240:15:27

I'm not a child! Stop treating me like one.

0:15:270:15:31

Please, leave.

0:15:310:15:32

We'll be downstairs.

0:15:340:15:36

Call if you need us.

0:15:360:15:38

A spectre with evil eyes. What next?

0:15:500:15:53

Goblins? Witches?

0:15:530:15:55

There's a storm coming.

0:15:550:15:56

Oh, perfect!

0:15:560:15:57

What's that? Stop the car!

0:15:570:15:59

One snigger out of you...

0:16:050:16:07

Not a peep, sir.

0:16:070:16:09

Wait a minute. What's that?

0:16:150:16:17

Careful.

0:16:330:16:35

Almost cut myself.

0:16:350:16:36

What are you doing?

0:16:380:16:39

Showing my appreciation.

0:16:390:16:41

For what?

0:16:410:16:42

For staying overnight to protect me.

0:16:420:16:45

Couldn't leave my damsel in distress all alone with her parents away, could I?

0:16:450:16:48

Your damsel?

0:16:480:16:50

My damsel.

0:16:500:16:51

I'm sorry about all this.

0:16:530:16:54

It's not your fault men can't help falling at your feet.

0:16:540:16:57

THUNDER CRASHES

0:16:580:17:02

SHE GASPS

0:17:040:17:05

What is it?

0:17:050:17:06

I just saw him outside.

0:17:060:17:08

Stay here. Lock the door behind me.

0:17:080:17:11

-Well, don't go out there.

-I'll be all right.

0:17:110:17:14

He went this way.

0:17:300:17:32

We've been out here for over half an hour.

0:17:390:17:42

I think we should...

0:17:420:17:43

-What was that?

-What?

0:17:430:17:46

-I thought I heard something.

-You're hearing things.

0:17:460:17:49

Any sign of Welkin?

0:17:490:17:50

No. No-one's been in or out.

0:17:500:17:52

We thought we saw someone on the field coming this way.

0:17:520:17:55

I'm going back to check on Laura.

0:17:550:17:57

Where's Smythe?

0:17:570:17:58

Well, he's in his room.

0:17:580:18:00

He said he wanted to be on his...

0:18:000:18:02

Help!

0:18:020:18:03

Holy Mother of God.

0:18:130:18:16

Call an ambulance.

0:18:160:18:17

-WEAKLY:

-Welkin.

0:18:190:18:21

..Ut a peccatis liberatum te salvet atque propitius allevet.

0:18:280:18:36

I never should have left him alone.

0:18:400:18:42

You sure he couldn't have got past you?

0:18:420:18:45

We were outside the whole time.

0:18:450:18:47

Rear exit's open. Lock's unbolted, same as here.

0:18:470:18:50

He must've made Mr Smythe unlock the doors with his mind control.

0:18:500:18:55

Still here, Mrs McCarthy?

0:18:550:18:57

You too, Father. This is a crime scene.

0:18:570:18:59

The windows were secure.

0:19:010:19:03

What about the air vent?

0:19:030:19:04

Too small for Welkin to have got through that.

0:19:040:19:07

Inspector?

0:19:070:19:08

Was he burning this when he was attacked?

0:19:140:19:17

I'll take that, thank you.

0:19:170:19:18

Why?

0:19:180:19:20

I believe you've been looking for me.

0:19:220:19:24

Arthur Welkin, at your service.

0:19:240:19:26

A sing-a-long?

0:19:290:19:30

Yes, it was a grand old time. Lovely people, the Kemblefordians.

0:19:300:19:33

You're not from here, are you? I can tell. City boy?

0:19:330:19:36

What was the name of this pub?

0:19:360:19:38

Why are you all the way out here? That's what I want to know.

0:19:380:19:42

I'm asking the questions.

0:19:420:19:43

Let me guess...

0:19:430:19:44

..running away from something?

0:19:450:19:48

Ex-girlfriend? No.

0:19:480:19:50

Domineering father.

0:19:520:19:53

Yes...

0:19:550:19:57

That's it.

0:19:570:19:58

What was the name?

0:20:020:20:03

The Cloak and Dagger.

0:20:040:20:06

That's apt, wouldn't you say?

0:20:060:20:08

You threatened Mr Smythe's life this morning

0:20:170:20:19

and later threw a knife at him after the performance.

0:20:190:20:22

-Nonsense.

-Then why did he say your name before he died?

0:20:220:20:26

Oh, did he? How sweet!

By law, a man's last words are considered to be the truth.

0:20:290:20:33

-It's known as...

-A dying declaration.

0:20:330:20:36

Exactly.

0:20:360:20:37

Perhaps it was a declaration of love.

0:20:390:20:42

We shall never know.

0:20:430:20:45

That was Jez Watts.

0:20:530:20:55

Him and the lads were in The Cloak tonight.

0:20:550:20:57

-Yes, and?

-Welkin's telling the truth.

0:20:570:20:59

He was there at the time of the murder,

0:20:590:21:01

singing along in front of about 30-odd regulars.

0:21:010:21:04

I believe that means you'll have to release me,

0:21:040:21:06

unless you believe I have the power to be in two places at once?

'50s MUSIC PLAYS

0:21:140:21:17

Good morning, my dear.

0:21:330:21:35

How are you after last night's excitement?

0:21:360:21:38

What do you want?

0:21:380:21:40

To claim my prize.

0:21:400:21:42

-That was just a joke.

-It was your word.

0:21:420:21:45

But the agreement was you had to make your fortune -

0:21:470:21:49

that was your word, too.

0:21:490:21:51

The fortune I have to offer is worth more than money can buy.

0:21:510:21:54

You will marry me and with great willingness of spirit.

0:21:560:22:00

You were romantically involved with Mr Smythe, is that right?

0:22:040:22:09

Must've been very upsetting when he jilted you.

0:22:090:22:11

I didn't kill him!

0:22:110:22:13

But you did punch him on the nose?

0:22:130:22:15

He deserved it after what he did.

0:22:160:22:19

-And you are?

-Marvin Morris.

0:22:190:22:21

I've got a motive too.

0:22:210:22:23

-Want to hear it?

-Please.

0:22:230:22:26

Reggie was a backstabbing, small-minded, petty...

0:22:260:22:28

Stop it!

0:22:280:22:30

He walked out on Enid, walked out on our double-act.

0:22:300:22:33

Where were you both at the time of the murder?

0:22:350:22:39

Having a stroll in the fields.

0:22:390:22:40

Together?

0:22:400:22:42

In the dark?

0:22:420:22:43

With a storm on its way?

0:22:440:22:47

I was upset. I needed some air.

0:22:470:22:49

Witnesses?

0:22:500:22:52

We didn't see anyone.

0:22:520:22:54

How convenient.

0:22:540:22:56

Well, until this case is over, no vanishing acts, please.

0:22:560:23:00

Maybe I should run down to the cafe, see where she's got to.

0:23:060:23:09

If she's much later, Father, you'll have to cancel.

0:23:090:23:12

How was she this morning?

0:23:140:23:16

Tired. Barely said a word before she left for work.

0:23:160:23:18

Let's go down to the cafe together.

DOORBELL RINGS

0:23:210:23:23

-Ah!

-Oh!

0:23:230:23:24

Good morning.

0:23:350:23:37

I don't believe we've been properly introduced. I am...

0:23:370:23:40

I know who you are.

0:23:400:23:42

Laura, what's going on?

0:23:420:23:43

We've some wonderful news. Tell them, my dear.

0:23:430:23:46

We're getting married.

0:23:470:23:49

-You're what?

-You heard her.

0:23:490:23:51

Tomorrow morning we'll leave with the circus,

0:23:510:23:53

and shortly thereafter, join in blissful union.

0:23:530:23:56

Have you gone mad?

0:23:560:23:57

I'm sorry, Nicholas.

0:23:570:23:59

I understand you're her former suitor.

0:23:590:24:01

I do hope you'll be a gentleman and bow out with grace and decorum.

0:24:010:24:05

Outside, now.

0:24:050:24:07

Clearly not.

0:24:070:24:08

No, Nicholas.

0:24:080:24:09

I want to talk to Laura alone.

0:24:110:24:13

Anything you say to Laura you can say to me.

0:24:140:24:17

Do you really want to marry this man?

0:24:170:24:18

Rather an impertinent question.

0:24:180:24:20

I know it seems sudden, but I've never felt so in love before.

0:24:230:24:26

What?!

0:24:260:24:27

Yesterday, you were terrified of Mr Welkin

0:24:270:24:30

and now you say you're in love with him?

0:24:300:24:33

I can hardly believe it myself, but Arthur's shown me a side of him

0:24:330:24:37

I hadn't seen before -

0:24:370:24:38

warm, caring, funny.

0:24:380:24:41

Yes, I have a wonderful sense of humour.

0:24:410:24:44

I want to marry him.

0:24:440:24:46

And there you have it.

0:24:460:24:48

Let's speak in my study.

0:24:480:24:49

Let me perform the ceremony.

0:24:590:25:01

I can fit you in tomorrow afternoon.

0:25:010:25:03

Father?!

0:25:030:25:05

Any other priest would make you wait six months.

0:25:050:25:08

-You're willing to break protocol?

-I've been known to bend the rules.

0:25:080:25:11

-We'd have to delay our departure.

-Only for a few hours.

0:25:110:25:14

Very well. Tomorrow it is.

0:25:150:25:19

What have you done to her?

0:25:190:25:20

Merely stirred her passions.

0:25:200:25:22

I'll kill you.

0:25:220:25:23

That would solve nothing.

0:25:230:25:25

Laura, what is this? I don't understand.

0:25:280:25:31

Goodbye, Nicholas.

0:25:310:25:33

You understand that, don't you?

0:25:330:25:35

Goodbye!

0:25:390:25:41

You're not seriously going to marry them?

0:25:460:25:48

-Of course not.

-He's hypnotised her.

0:25:480:25:50

He must have. She wasn't herself.

0:25:500:25:51

Even the most suggestible person

0:25:510:25:53

can't be hypnotised to marry against their will.

0:25:530:25:56

-There must be something else going on.

-What?

0:25:560:25:59

There's only one thing for it -

0:26:000:26:02

I need to talk to Laura on her own.

0:26:020:26:04

Home, sweet home.

0:26:140:26:15

It's lovely.

0:26:160:26:17

Don't worry, my dear, I shall be the perfect gentleman...

0:26:210:26:24

..until after we're married, of course.

0:26:260:26:28

Welkin!

0:26:280:26:30

Excuse me.

0:26:300:26:31

Welkin!

0:26:330:26:34

DOG BARKS

0:26:340:26:36

You did it, didn't you?

0:26:400:26:42

Did what?

0:26:420:26:43

Killed Reggie.

0:26:430:26:45

If I had, I'd have thought you'd be thanking me.

0:26:450:26:47

He might've been an idiot, but he didn't deserve to die.

0:26:470:26:50

You did it and I'm going to prove it.

0:26:510:26:54

My dear, if it's not an imposition,

0:26:590:27:03

I'd like you to do something for me.

0:27:030:27:04

Let's say Enid Flay climbed through the air vent.

0:27:070:27:10

How did she get up there?

0:27:100:27:11

Either Marvin Morris helped her, or she used a ladder,

0:27:110:27:14

then she stabbed him, unlocked the door and escaped.

0:27:140:27:16

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Come in.

0:27:160:27:19

Sorry to disturb you, but I've just come from the circus.

0:27:190:27:22

I saw something - something terrible.

0:27:220:27:25

PIANO MUSIC PLAYS

0:27:280:27:32

Enid Flay, I have a warrant to search your...

0:27:470:27:52

..caravan.

0:27:540:27:56

What a surprise.

0:27:560:27:58

What can I say?

0:27:580:27:59

I love the circus.

0:27:590:28:01

Search it for what?

0:28:010:28:03

We'll see.

0:28:030:28:05

Shall we?

0:28:050:28:07

Oi!

0:28:090:28:10

Clear, sir.

0:28:150:28:17

I haven't done anything!

0:28:170:28:19

Oh, yes? Had some company, have we?

0:28:190:28:21

This is harassment.

0:28:210:28:23

What have we got here?

0:28:230:28:24

Someone put that there!

0:28:270:28:29

That's what they all say.

0:28:290:28:30

I'm taking you both in for questioning. Sergeant.

0:28:300:28:33

Come on, you.

0:28:330:28:34

How did you know to search the caravan?

0:28:370:28:40

Enid invited Laura for tea. She saw the knife in the cupboard.

0:28:400:28:43

-That's a lie!

-And also none of your concern, Father.

0:28:430:28:46

But if Enid killed Smythe, why did he say Welkin's name before he died?

0:28:460:28:50

Probably because he didn't want to incriminate his girlfriend.

0:28:500:28:53

You're clutching at straws.

0:28:530:28:54

And you, once again, are stepping way outside your bounds.

0:28:540:28:58

-What about the burnt fabric...?

-Goodbye, Father.

0:28:580:29:00

There's something you need to know -

0:29:000:29:03

Laura Hope is under Welkin's influence.

0:29:030:29:05

She's been coerced into marrying him.

0:29:050:29:08

Yes. Well, Welkin has an alibi.

0:29:080:29:10

He was at a pub sing-a-long at the exact time.

0:29:100:29:14

A sing-a-long?!

0:29:140:29:15

Apparently he does a raucous Knees-Up Mother Brown.

0:29:160:29:19

So, unless you have an explanation

0:29:190:29:21

as to how he can be in two places at once,

0:29:210:29:23

I suggest you go back to St Mary's and allow me to close this case.

0:29:230:29:26

Understood?

0:29:260:29:28

It belonged to my mother.

0:30:020:30:04

I thought it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress.

0:30:050:30:08

Well, I don't believe in that superstitious nonsense.

0:30:080:30:11

I believe only in love.

0:30:120:30:14

Love is the real magic.

0:30:150:30:17

You are so beautiful.

0:30:320:30:33

I'll leave you to undress, my dear.

0:30:360:30:38

What are you doing here?

0:30:460:30:48

Tell me what's happening.

0:30:480:30:49

Exactly what it looks like.

0:30:490:30:51

That you're being forced into marriage?

0:30:510:30:54

No.

0:30:540:30:55

Tell me why you're doing this.

0:30:550:30:57

I'm paying penance.

0:30:580:31:00

Penance?

0:31:000:31:01

What for?!

0:31:020:31:04

Arthur!

0:31:060:31:08

Laura, no, please.

0:31:080:31:09

He just barged in.

0:31:110:31:13

Father Brown, I'm beginning to get the impression

0:31:130:31:15

-you're having second thoughts about marrying us.

-Not at all.

0:31:150:31:18

Are you sure? We can always marry elsewhere.

0:31:200:31:23

I gave my word.

0:31:230:31:25

Tomorrow it is.

0:31:250:31:27

Very well. If you'll excuse us, we have a wedding to prepare for.

0:31:270:31:30

We've examined the knife - no fingerprints.

0:31:480:31:51

But the blood type matches Mr Smythe's.

0:31:520:31:55

This is your last chance to tell the truth.

0:31:550:31:58

We...

0:31:580:31:59

We spent the night together.

0:32:010:32:04

The night Mr Smythe was killed?

0:32:040:32:06

But we didn't kill him.

0:32:060:32:07

You've lied once already. Why should I believe you now?

0:32:070:32:10

Do you really think, if I did it,

0:32:100:32:12

I'd be stupid enough to leave a blood-stained knife in my caravan?

0:32:120:32:15

Murderers have made many stupid mistakes, you won't be the last.

0:32:150:32:18

I'm not a murderer.

0:32:180:32:20

You had means, motive and opportunity.

0:32:200:32:23

I'm charging you with the murder of Reggie Smythe.

0:32:230:32:25

Could you hold these? Thank you.

0:32:320:32:34

-You're a dab hand with the lock pick.

-Beginner's luck.

0:32:450:32:48

I don't understand why we're here.

0:32:520:32:55

Laura said something that made me wonder.

0:32:550:32:57

Wonder what?

0:32:570:32:58

What are you looking for?

0:32:590:33:01

I'll know it when I see it.

0:33:030:33:04

Laura's room?

0:33:130:33:15

Yes.

0:33:150:33:16

What was here?

0:33:220:33:23

I think it was a lamp.

0:33:230:33:24

Ah-ha!

0:33:270:33:29

So it broke. So what?

0:33:290:33:31

You said Laura had trouble sleeping, the night of the murder.

0:33:310:33:34

Well, it's hardly surprising.

0:33:340:33:36

How was she when you got back to the house AFTER you'd left the B&B?

0:33:360:33:40

Scared witless. Jumping at shadows.

0:33:400:33:44

I think I know what Mr Smythe was burning.

0:33:440:33:47

Try to stay calm. Father Brown always has a plan.

0:34:100:34:13

You do, don't you?

0:34:130:34:15

Oh, here they are now.

0:34:160:34:17

Well-wishers - how nice.

0:34:170:34:19

Let her go. However you're doing it, let her go.

0:34:190:34:22

Trust me.

0:34:230:34:25

Let's go in, shall we?

0:34:270:34:28

Why did the lamp break in your bedroom?

0:34:490:34:51

What?

0:34:530:34:54

The lamp in your bedroom window, why did it break?

0:34:540:34:57

The wind.

0:34:570:34:58

I saw tread marks on the window sill.

0:35:000:35:02

He's wasting our time.

0:35:020:35:04

I know why you're doing penance.

0:35:040:35:05

You killed Mr Smythe, didn't you?

0:35:070:35:10

What?

0:35:100:35:11

-Don't say a word. He knows nothing.

-I know enough.

0:35:110:35:15

Mr Smythe didn't stay in his room that night,

0:35:150:35:18

that's why he was so insistent that me and Mrs McCarthy left him alone...

0:35:180:35:23

so he could come to you.

0:35:230:35:25

He broke the lamp...

0:35:260:35:28

..climbing through your window.

0:35:290:35:31

I think I know what happened next,

0:35:390:35:41

but why don't you tell me?

0:35:410:35:43

It was an accident.

0:35:460:35:48

I didn't mean to kill him.

0:35:480:35:49

SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS

0:35:530:35:56

I thought it was Welkin.

0:36:060:36:08

SHE GASPS

0:36:100:36:11

HE GROANS

0:36:110:36:12

He told me not to call an ambulance, said it wasn't serious.

0:36:180:36:21

He wanted to go back to the B&B and pretend that Welkin did it,

0:36:210:36:25

get him arrested for attempted murder.

0:36:250:36:27

So you dressed his wound with this.

0:36:270:36:30

I found it in your sewing basket.

0:36:310:36:33

You have to go to hospital!

0:36:360:36:37

I'm fine. It barely hurts.

0:36:370:36:39

What are you doing here?!

0:36:410:36:42

I wanted to see you.

0:36:440:36:45

I understand you don't love me, but at least let me do this for you.

0:36:470:36:51

He gave me the knife and went back to the B&B.

0:36:510:36:54

Hmm.

0:36:540:36:55

Where he removed the dressing,

0:36:550:36:57

no doubt realising his wound was far more serious than he thought,

0:36:570:37:02

burned the evidence, then cried bloody murder.

0:37:020:37:05

Help!

0:37:220:37:23

Oh!

0:37:260:37:28

Help!

0:37:290:37:30

That doesn't explain why you agreed to marry him.

0:37:320:37:35

Yes, it does.

0:37:350:37:36

You saw it all, didn't you?

0:37:370:37:39

How else would you have got the knife?

0:37:400:37:42

Then you went directly to the pub to give yourself an alibi.

0:37:580:38:03

Why didn't you go to the police?

0:38:100:38:12

After I'd already covered up what I did?

0:38:120:38:14

How's that going to look?

0:38:140:38:16

Besides, I thought it was a just punishment

0:38:160:38:18

after what I did to Mr Smythe - hell on Earth with Mr Welkin.

0:38:180:38:22

You're not a murderer.

0:38:240:38:25

You don't deserve hell on Earth, or anywhere else.

0:38:260:38:30

This doesn't change anything. She killed Smythe,

0:38:300:38:32

and if she doesn't want to go to prison, she'll marry me.

0:38:320:38:35

And with great willingness of spirit.

0:38:350:38:37

Is that what you think love is?

0:38:430:38:46

Control?

0:38:460:38:47

Possession?

0:38:470:38:48

How does a priest know anything about love?

0:38:480:38:51

Mr Smythe knew what love was.

0:38:520:38:55

You know nothing about me.

0:38:550:38:56

I know you're a charlatan with a bag of cheap tricks.

0:38:560:38:59

What I feel for Laura is not a trick.

0:39:010:39:04

It's real.

0:39:040:39:06

If that is so, then why are you so blind to her suffering?

0:39:060:39:10

You are not the person who should be doing penance...

0:39:120:39:14

..you are.

0:39:150:39:17

Laura?

0:39:210:39:23

Goodbye, Mr Welkin.

0:39:350:39:37

It's over.

0:39:430:39:46

No, it's not.

0:39:460:39:47

I have to confess to Inspector Sullivan.

0:39:470:39:50

No.

0:39:500:39:52

I won't let someone else pay for my crime.

0:39:520:39:54

Father...

0:39:580:39:59

She's right.

0:40:030:40:04

Inspector?

0:40:310:40:32

I have something to tell you.

0:40:330:40:35

Inspector?

0:40:350:40:37

It's a confession...

0:40:400:40:41

from Welkin.

0:40:410:40:43

He says that Smythe snuck out of the B&B and confronted him,

0:40:430:40:47

so Welkin stabbed him.

0:40:470:40:49

-That's not...

-Where is he now?

0:40:490:40:52

I have no idea.

0:40:520:40:53

And this note...is for you.

0:40:540:40:57

"Laura, my love, this confession I make in your honour.

0:41:070:41:12

"It is my sacrifice for you..."

0:41:120:41:14

"I shall disappear and never be found,

0:41:160:41:20

"for who can find a phantom?

0:41:200:41:22

"Without love, that's all I am.

0:41:230:41:26

"I am nothing.

0:41:260:41:28

"I am hollow.

0:41:280:41:30

"I am dust."

0:41:310:41:32

CHURCH BELLS RING OUT

0:41:380:41:41

My heart's thundering.

0:41:480:41:50

That's a good sign.

0:41:500:41:51

She'll be here any minute.

0:41:510:41:53

Now, you should be inside.

0:41:530:41:55

Well, Father, when are you going to tell us what happened?

0:41:580:42:01

I don't know what you're talking about.

0:42:010:42:03

Why did Laura agree to marry Welkin?

0:42:030:42:04

Like Mrs McCarthy said, he had strange powers.

0:42:040:42:08

It was the hypnotism, I knew it!

0:42:080:42:10

Oh! You look beautiful.

0:42:120:42:15

-I'm a bundle of nerves.

-That's a good sign.

0:42:150:42:19

I'll go and tell the ushers she's here.

0:42:190:42:21

Deep breaths. Good luck.

0:42:210:42:23

Ready?

0:42:280:42:30

Ready.
